L's fingers clenched slightly, causing the panda-shaped treat between them to crack.. It was half-way through the second week of Light Yagami's confinement, yet he had been unable to find so much as a misspoken word to tie Light with Kira, he might as well let him go for all the good he was doing now... but there was something behind all of this, he could just feel it. If only he more information, if he could just find anything that could explain how Kira killed then his mind could fill in the blanks and could find evidence to support his theory's later. All he could deduce at this point that Light was either an exceptional actor or that he was genuinely innocent... there had only ever been one other person who could baffle him like Light could...
That was it! L's head perked up, that person was perhaps the only other person on the planet with the ability to equal L's deductive prowess, and not only that but he was an expert on deciphering elaborate plans, the ideal person for L's current dilemma. But of course there was no way he would work for free, L sighed as he suddenly envisualised his collective wealth taking a nosedive.
But there was really no other choice, that boy was the only other person beisdes Light and Near (Mello and Matt were either too emotional or too distracted to match his thought processes, it was shame because they really did have potential). He pressed the button that would alert his caretaker.
"Watari?"
"Yes Ryuzaki?" Came Watari's voice, distorted slightly due to the microphone.
"Please contact Fowl Manor".
Watari was silent for a few seconds, he knew what this meant. "As you wish Ryuzaki".

L stared at the huge Manor that lay before him, reminiscent of both Medieval and Gothic times. The affect was lost on L however who just ignored the architecture as he did the valets hand when his limousine finally reached the front doors. From there it was a matter of navigating the stairs upward and the numerous servants that filled the centuries-old building. He eventually reached a hallway where no servents scurried, only a huge man with a shaved head with a suit stood in front of a single doorway, the man twitched when he saw L.
"Ryuzaki" the man greeted coldy, apparntly he was still sore that the stick-like L had managed to defeat him in twelve seconds.
"Butler" replied L with his usual monotone. "I need to speak with Artemis".
The man didn't move "he is aware".
L smiled impishly. "Of course he is, he staring at me through the camera in the corner right now". Butler twitched ever so slightly. "Ahh, so there are secret camera's installed after all" L put his finger between his lips. Chalk one up for the reclusive detective.
"Enough", came a cold voice through the door, "we both know he won't leave until he's satisfied, let him come through". Ahh, that was Artemis no doubt, as kind and loving as when L had last seen him.
"..As you wish sir" said the Eurasian man stiffly before opening the door. L stepped through without hesitation. Within the room were thousands of computers, but not single ray of sunlight, in the centre was a fourteen year old boy in a suit with nearly combed hair and skin bleached to point that even L's own sun-starved skin had yet to succumb to.
"Greetings L, I do trust all is well?" Artemis asked in his usual sardonic tone. Of course all was not well, they avoided like the plague each other except when it was absolutely necessary to work together. And then they would usually put off the actual meeting for as long as possible, communicating through computers if they absolutely had no other choice than to speak to each other.
"I am afraid they are not Artemis, I'm afaid I will be needing your help in my latest case... brother..."
Authors Note: Wow, I think this is the first ever Artemis Fowl/ Death Note crossover, I feel so proud! Anyway, review and tell me what you think. Oh and just for the record, I've started a new forum designed to find out who's the smartest genius in fiction, so don't start arguing with me about who's-smarter-than-who via review or PM, go do it over there okay?
